DD is 4 months old and on the big side (16 lbs; 25 inches 90th percentile for both). Currently, I nurse her once in the morning when we get up. At daycare she has two 6 oz bottles (one breast milk, one formula) and one 4 oz bottle (breast milk). She has another 4 oz bottle (breast milk) when she gets home (DH picks her up). If she is still awake when I get home from work, I will nurse her again. She usually wakes once during the night between 2am and 4am to eat (we try just soothing her to sleep, but she insists on eating). At our 4 month check up, the pedi told us that we need to start weening her off of her middle of the night feeding and to do this, we should start feeding DD More in the day. Currently she is fed on demand. We have tried upping her 4 oz bottles to 6ozs, but she will always leave 1.5 to 2oz in the bottle.
So here is my question (and thanks for reading all of this, I know it is long!): How much did your DC eat at this age? How would you get your DC to eat more during the day? In your experience, has giving your DC more food in the day made them less hungry at night?
